Former state school employee Victoria Savino, who retired in June 2017, saved $102,827 toward a pension over 18 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Savino would collect as much as $1.77 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.

The projection assumes Savino received $37,173 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Savino will have already received $114,898 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
